I would MUCH rather see a confgiurable delay time on the radius
request, than this. We proxy the request, rather than have the PM do
it. That way its MUCH more configurable and we have control on whats
going on.

This means depending upon a domain identifier in the logon, we can
direct it somewhere else. I wouldn't dream of asking a PM to handle
that. I just wangt a configurable delay time like every other NAS on
the market has. :)
